Plan is a convenient and economical share purchase program available for existing investors to increase their holdings and for new investors to make an initial investment in our common shares. Participants in the Plan may have all or any portion of
their cash dividends automatically reinvested in our common shares. Participants may also elect to make optional cash investments through the Plan Administrator, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., which we refer to as Computershare. The primary
purpose of the Plan is to benefit long-term investors who want to increase their investment in our common shares. We may also use the Plan to raise additional capital through the direct sale of our common shares to shareholders or new investors,
who, in connection with any resales of such shares, may be deemed to be underwriters. Our ability to waive limitations applicable to the amounts that participants may invest pursuant to the cash purchase feature of the Plan will allow for these
sales to raise additional capital. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Participation in the Plan is voluntary, and we give no advice regarding your decision to join the
Plan. However, if you decide to participate, an enrollment form and reply envelope are enclosed for your convenience. In addition, enrollment forms are also available, and may be completed, online. You can access these services through
Computershare&#146;s website, www.computershare.com/EPR. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>2. What options are available under the Plan? </B></P>

by you, automatically reinvested in additional common shares. If you are a new investor, you may make an initial investment through the Plan, subject to a minimum investment of $200 and a maximum investment of $10,000. As a participant in the Plan,
you may also make optional cash investments through the Plan, subject to a minimum investment of $50 per month and a maximum investment of $10,000 per month. We may permit an initial investment and optional cash investments in greater amounts, at
our discretion. Optional cash investments in excess of $10,000 per month may be made pursuant to a written request and are not subject to a predetermined maximum limit on the amount of the investment. We may establish a discount ranging from 0% to
5% with respect to shares purchased from us for cash purchases exceeding $10,000 per month that we have approved pursuant to a Request for Waiver. Please refer to Question 8 for additional information regarding initial investments, and to Questions
12 through 14 for further information regarding optional cash investments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>3. What are the benefits and disadvantages of the Plan? </B></P>

$10,000.</I> Shares purchased pursuant to an approved Request for Waiver will be purchased directly from us as described herein, including the establishment of a Threshold Price as more fully described below. The Purchase Price may be reduced by the
Waiver Discount that we have provided for optional cash investments in excess of $10,000 on each Purchase Date. If we grant your request to purchase shares pursuant to a Request for Waiver, there will be a Pricing Period, which will generally
consist of one to 12 consecutive separate trading days on the New York Stock Exchange. Each of these separate trading days will be a Purchase Date, and an equal proportion of your optional cash investment will be invested on each trading day during
such Pricing Period, subject to the qualifications listed below. The purchase price for shares acquired on a particular Purchase Date will be equal to the consolidated volume weighted average price (subject to change as provided below), rounded to
four decimal places, of our common shares as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, obtained from Bloomberg, LP, for the trading hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Eastern time (through and including the NYSE closing print), for that Purchase
Date, less any Waiver Discount. For example, if a cash investment of $1,000,000 is made pursuant to an approved Request for Waiver, and the Pricing Period consists of ten trading days, there would be ten separate investments, each for $100,000,
beginning on the Pricing Period commencement date and continuing for ten trading days. The number of shares purchased for each Purchase Date would be calculated by dividing the proportionate amount of the approved waiver request amount, in this
example $100,000, by the consolidated volume weighted average price obtained from Bloomberg, LP, rounded to four decimal places, for the trading hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Eastern time (through and including the NYSE closing print), for that

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If established for any Pricing Period, the Threshold Price will be stated as a dollar amount that the consolidated volume weighted average

each trading day of such Pricing Period (not adjusted for discounts, if any) must equal or exceed. Except as provided below, we will exclude from the Pricing Period any trading day that the consolidated volume weighted average price is less than the
Threshold Price. We also will exclude from the Pricing Period and from the determination of the purchase price any day in which no trades of our common shares are made on the New York Stock Exchange. For example, if the Threshold Price is not met
for two of the trading days in a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-day</FONT> Pricing Period, then we will return 20% of the funds you submitted in connection with your Request for Waiver unless we have activated the Pricing Period Extension
Feature for the Pricing Period which is described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Pricing Period Extension Feature.</I> We may elect to activate for any
particular Pricing Period the Pricing Period Extension Feature which will provide that the initial Pricing Period will be extended by the number of days that the Threshold Price is not satisfied, or on which there are no trades of our common shares
reported by the New York Stock Exchange, subject to a maximum of five trading days. If we elect to activate the Pricing Period Extension Feature and the Threshold Price is satisfied for any additional day that has been added to the initial Pricing
Period, that day will be included as one of the trading days for the Pricing Period in lieu of the day on which the Threshold Price was not met or trades of our common shares were not reported. For example, if the determined Pricing Period is 10
days, and the Threshold Price is not satisfied for three out of those 10 days in the initial Pricing Period, and we had activated the Pricing Period Extension Feature at the time of the Request for Waiver acceptance, then the Pricing Period will
automatically be extended, and if the Threshold Price is satisfied on the next three trading days (or a subset thereof), then those three days (or a subset thereof) will become Purchase Dates in lieu of the three days on which the Threshold Price
was not met. As a result, because there were 10 trading days during the initial and extended Pricing Period on which the Threshold Price was satisfied, all of the optional cash purchase will be invested. </P>

within three business days of each Purchase Date beginning on the first trading day in the relevant Pricing Period and ending on the final trading day in the relevant Pricing Period, with an equal amount being invested on each such day, subject to
the qualifications set forth above. We may elect to activate the Continuous Settlement Feature, at the time of the Request for Waiver form acceptance. </P>

necessary to satisfy the uncollected balance. There is a $35.00 charge for any check, electronic funds transfer or other deposit that is returned unpaid by your bank. This fee will be collected by Computershare through the sale of the number of

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tear-off</FONT> form attached to the account statement. Certificates are normally issued to participants within five business days after receipt of the request. Issuing a certificate for shares held in your Plan account
does not affect the automatic reinvestment of your dividends unless you withdraw all of the shares held in your Plan account. No certificates will be issued for fractional shares. Any remaining whole or fractional shares will continue to be credited
to your account. If you request a certificate for all shares credited to your account, a certificate will be issued for the whole shares, and a cash payment will be made for any remaining fractional share. That cash payment will be based upon the
then current market price of the common shares, less any processing fee, sales fee and any other costs of sale. Please refer to Question 29 for instructions on closing your Plan account. </P>

on the certificate. You should provide as much specific information about the certificate in question as possible in order to assist Computershare in identifying which certificate to place a stop transfer order against (certificate number, number of
shares, date issued, etc.). Computershare will send you the forms necessary for issuing a replacement certificate. Please note that there is a fee of approximately 3% of the market value of the shares (minimum of $40.00) charged to purchase the
replacement indemnity bond. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>25.&nbsp;May I add my physical EPR common shares to my Plan account for safekeeping? </B></P>

cease dividend reinvestment participation from a qualified representative of the deceased, and (2)&nbsp;with respect to the prices or times at which shares are purchased or sold for you. Computershare will have no liability for failed executions due

(with certain adjustments) each year. This distribution requirement limits the capital available to us to internally fund growth. Our future dividend payments may be lower if our earnings decline. The requirements to qualify for REIT tax status are
complex and technical, and we may not be able to qualify for reasons beyond our control. Failing to qualify as a REIT could adversely affect our tax status and reduce the amount of money available for distributions to our shareholders. Our Board of
Trustees has the ultimate discretion over our investment, financing and dividend policies, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements and other factors, such as maintaining our status as a REIT. While we expect to continue paying distributions
to our shareholders, the amount and timing of these distributions may be changed, or the payment of dividends terminated, at any time without notice. </P>

earnings and profits and, to that extent, will be taxable as ordinary income (except to the extent that we designate any portion of such dividend as a &#147;capital gain&#148; dividend or, in the case of shareholders taxed at individual rates who
satisfy certain holding period requirements, to the extent any portion of such dividend is attributable to dividends received by us from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-REIT</FONT> corporations or taxable REIT subsidiaries). To the extent that
we make distributions (not designated as capital gain dividends) in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will be treated first as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> return of capital to the
extent of your tax basis in our common shares and, to the extent in excess of your tax basis, will be taxable as a gain realized from the sale of your common shares. Distributions to corporate shareholders, including amounts taxable as dividends to
corporate shareholders, will not be eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we generally are not subject to
federal income tax on the portion of our REIT taxable income distributed to our shareholders, our ordinary dividends generally are not &#147;qualified dividend income&#148; eligible for the reduced 15% or 20% rates (depending on the
shareholder&#146;s marginal U.S. federal income tax rate) available to most <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> taxpayers, and will continue to be taxed at the higher tax rates applicable to ordinary income. However, for taxable
years prior to 2026, individual shareholders are generally allowed to deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary dividends distributed by us, subject to certain limitations, which will reduce the maximum marginal effective tax rate for
individuals on the receipt of such ordinary dividends to 29.6%. Without further legislation, this 20% deduction for REIT dividends will sunset after 2025. Moreover, the reduced 15% or 20% rate does apply to our distributions: </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Amounts Treated as a Distribution. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although the U.S. federal income tax treatment of dividend reinvestment programs is not entirely clear, if you participate in the dividend
reinvestment feature of the Plan, it is expected that you will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received, on the date the shares are acquired, a distribution in an amount equal to the sum of (a)&nbsp;the fair market value of the
shares on the date the shares were acquired with reinvested dividends, (b)&nbsp;your pro rata share of any brokerage commissions paid by us in connection with the purchase of shares by the Plan Administrator from parties other than us and
(c)&nbsp;any cash distributions actually received by you with respect to common shares not included in the Plan. When shares are purchased directly from us, the amount of the distribution will be the market price of the shares on the dividend
reinvestment date, even if you acquired such shares at a discount. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The treatment of optional cash payments is also unclear, with most of
the guidance consisting of private letter rulings issued by the IRS on which other taxpayers are not entitled to rely. In one private letter ruling (involving a plan which did not acquire shares through open market purchases), the IRS concluded that
there was no deemed distribution in connection with stock acquired through a stock purchase plan. In that ruling, the IRS did not make any distinction between persons who participated only in the stock purchase feature of the plan and persons who
participate in both the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase features of the plan. In other private letter rulings, the IRS had suggested that a participant who participated in both features of the plan was treated as receiving a distribution
with respect to the optional cash investments, which is taxed as described above, in an amount equal to (i)&nbsp;any excess of the fair market value of the shares on the investment date over the amount of the optional cash investment, plus
(ii)&nbsp;the amount of any brokerage commissions, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mark-ups,</FONT> and other fees or expenses incurred by the REIT on the participant&#146;s behalf in connection with purchases on the open market. Accordingly, to
the extent that we pay brokerage commissions with respect to any open market or privately negotiated purchases made with reinvested dividends or optional cash investments by the Plan Administrator, we presently intend to take the position that
shareholder participants received their proportionate amount of the commissions or distributions. The total amount of cash dividends and other distributions will be reported to you and to the IRS on the appropriate tax form shortly after the end of
each year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Tax Basis and Holding Period of Shares Acquired Pursuant to the Plan. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Your tax basis in common shares acquired under the Plan with reinvested cash distributions will be equal to the fair market value of such
shares as of the date of distribution. Your tax basis in additional common shares acquired under the Plan with optional cash investments should be equal to the amount of such optional cash investments plus the amount, if any, treated as a
distribution to you. Your holding period for common shares acquired with reinvested cash distributions generally will commence on the day after the dividend payment date. If, however, the shares are acquired with optional cash investments or are
purchased with reinvested cash distributions in the open market, the holding period will commence on the day after the date of purchase. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Sale of Shares Acquired Pursuant to the Plan; Receipt of Share Certificates upon Withdrawal. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You will generally recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale of shares acquired under the Plan. You will not,
however, recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon your receipt of certificates for shares previously credited to your Plan account, but you will recognize gain or loss when you sell or exchange such shares received from the
Plan. You will also recognize gain or loss when a fractional share interest is liquidated. Such gain or loss will equal the difference between the amount that you receive for such fractional share interest or such shares and your tax basis in such
fractional share interest or shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Backup Withholding; FATCA Withholding. </I></P>

regardless of whether such dividends are reinvested pursuant to the Plan. Similarly, the Plan Administrator may be required to deduct backup withholding from all proceeds from sales of common
shares held in your account. You are subject to backup withholding if: (a)&nbsp;you have failed properly to furnish us and the Plan Administrator with your correct tax identification number (&#147;TIN&#148;); (b)&nbsp;the IRS or a broker notifies us
or the Plan Administrator that the TIN furnished by you is incorrect; (c)&nbsp;the IRS or a broker notifies us or the Plan Administrator that backup withholding should be commenced because you failed to properly report dividends paid to you; or
(d)&nbsp;when required to do so, you fail to certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding amounts will be withheld from dividends before such dividends are reinvested under the Plan.
Therefore, if you are subject to backup withholding, dividends to be reinvested under the Plan will be reduced by the withheld amount. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be
allowed as a credit against a participant&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the participant to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely fashion. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Similarly, in certain circumstances where we or the Plan Administrator has not received proper certification of a participant&#146;s status as
a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, withholding may be required with respect to distributions paid to a participant under the provisions of the Code commonly referred to as &#147;FATCA.&#148; </P>

you are a foreign shareholder participant whose dividends or distributions are subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding, the appropriate amount will be withheld and the Plan Administrator will reinvest an amount equal to the dividend or
distribution less the amount of any tax required to be withheld. If you wish to claim the benefit of any exemption from U.S. federal income tax withholding or reduced withholding rates under a treaty or convention entered into between the United
States and your country of residence, you need to provide the required certifications to the Plan Administrator. Moreover, if you are a foreign shareholder, you need to provide the required federal income certifications to establish your status as a
foreign shareholder so that the foregoing backup withholding does not apply to you. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Foreign shareholders who elect to make optional cash
investments only will continue to receive regular cash dividends on shares registered in their names in the same manner as if they were not participating in this Plan. Funds for optional cash investments must be in United States dollars and will be
invested in the same way as payments from other participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Costs of Administration. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All costs of administering the Plan, except for costs related to your voluntary selling of common shares, will be paid by us. Consistent with
the conclusion reached by the IRS in a private letter ruling issued to another REIT, we intend to take the position that these costs do not constitute a distribution that is taxable to you or that would reduce your tax basis in your shares. However,
since the private letter ruling was not issued to us, we have no legal right to rely on its conclusions. Thus, it is possible that the IRS might view your share of such costs as constituting a distribution to you that would be treated as a taxable
dividend, as a distribution that reduces the tax basis in your shares or as gain from the sale of your shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing is intended

intend to conduct our business in a manner designed to minimize potential shareholder liability, we can give no assurance that you can avoid liability in all instances in all jurisdictions. Our Trustees have not provided in the past and do not

Code, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (defined in the Code to include certain entities and constructive ownership among specified family members) at any time
during the last half of a taxable year. The shares also must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. In order to maintain our qualification as
a REIT, our Declaration of Trust contains restrictions on the acquisition of shares intended to ensure compliance with these requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Declaration of Trust generally provides that any person (not just individuals) holding more than 9.8% in number of shares or value, of the
outstanding shares of any class or series of our common shares or preferred shares (the &#147;Ownership Limit&#148;) may be subject to forfeiture of the shares (including common shares and preferred shares) owned in excess of the Ownership Limit. We
refer to the shares in excess of the Ownership Limit as &#147;Excess Shares.&#148; The Excess Shares may be transferred to a trust for the benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries. The trustee of that trust would have the right to vote the
voting Excess Shares, and distributions on the Excess Shares would be payable to the trustee for the benefit of the charitable beneficiaries. Holders of Excess Shares would be entitled to compensation for their Excess Shares, but that compensation
may be less than the price they paid for the Excess Shares. Persons who hold Excess Shares or who intend to acquire Excess Shares must provide written notice to us. </P>

to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 1997. Our REIT election, assuming continuing compliance with the then applicable qualification tests, continues in effect for
subsequent taxable years. Although no absolute assurance can be given, we believe we have been organized and have operated in a manner which allows us to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year ended
December&nbsp;31, 1997. We intend to continue to operate in a manner that will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. However, we cannot assure you that we have in fact met or will meet the
applicable requirements under U.S. federal income tax laws, which are highly technical and complex. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our counsel, Stinson LLP, has
rendered an opinion to us that, commencing with our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 1997, and through our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024, we have been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification
and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and our current and proposed method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for the current and future taxable years. This
opinion is based upon certain assumptions and representations as to factual matters made by us, including representations made by us in a representation letter and certificate provided by our officers and our factual representations set forth herein
and in registration statements previously filed with the SEC. Any variation from the factual statements set forth herein, in registration statements previously filed with the SEC, or in the representation letter and certificate we have provided to
our counsel may affect the conclusions upon which its opinion is based. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The opinions of Stinson LLP are based on existing law as
contained in the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect on the date of this prospectus, and the interpretations of such provisions and Treasury Regulations by the IRS and court decisions, all of which are subject to change
either prospectively or retroactively, and to possibly different interpretations. Our counsel will have no obligation to advise us or the holders of our securities of any subsequent change in the matters stated, represented or assumed, or of any
subsequent change in the applicable law. You should be aware that the opinions expressed are not binding upon the IRS or any court. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contrary positions may not successfully be asserted by the IRS. Moreover,
our qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability, through actual annual operating results and methods of operation, to satisfy various qualification tests imposed under the Code. Those qualification tests involve the percentage of
our income that we earn from specified sources, the percentage of assets that fall within specified categories, the diversity of our stock ownership and the percentage of our earnings that we distribute. While Stinson LLP has reviewed those matters
in connection with its opinion, Stinson LLP will not review our compliance with those tests on a continuing basis. Our ability to qualify as a REIT also requires that we satisfy certain asset tests, some of which depend upon the fair market values
of assets directly or indirectly owned by us. Such values may not be susceptible to a precise determination. There can be no assurance that the IRS would not challenge the valuations of the assets directly or indirectly owned by us. In addition, our
ability to qualify as a REIT also depends in part upon the operating results, organizational structure and entity classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes of certain affiliated entities, including affiliates that have made elections to be
taxed as REITs, and for whom the actual results of the various REIT qualification tests have not been and will not be reviewed by our counsel. Accordingly, given the complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual

investments we make, and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operations for any particular taxable year will satisfy
such requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. Stinson LLP&#146;s opinion will not foreclose the possibility that we may have to use one or more REIT savings provisions discussed below, which could require us to pay an excise or penalty
tax (which could be material) in order for us to maintain our REIT qualification. For a discussion of the tax consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT, see &#147;&#151;Failure to Qualify.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For so long as we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes on our taxable
income that is distributed currently to our shareholders because we will be entitled to a deduction for dividends that we pay. This treatment substantially eliminates the &#147;double taxation&#148; (once at the corporate level when earned and once
again at the shareholders&#146; level when distributed) that generally results from investment in an ordinary Subchapter C corporation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any distributions to our shareholders will be included in their income as dividends to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and
profits. U.S. shareholders generally will be subject to taxation on dividends distributed by us (other than designated capital gain dividends and dividends attributable to distributions we receive of &#147;qualified dividend income&#148;) at rates
applicable to ordinary income (currently at a maximum tax rate of 37% for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> shareholders), instead of at lower capital gain rates. However, for taxable years prior to 2026, individual shareholders
are generally allowed to deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary dividends distributed by us, subject to certain limitations, which would reduce the maximum marginal effective tax rate for individuals on the receipt of such ordinary dividends
to 29.6%. Capital gain dividends and qualified dividend income will continue to be subject to a maximum 20% rate for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. shareholders. Generally, our dividends are not treated as qualified
dividend income subject to a favorable 15% or 20% rate. No portion of any of our dividends is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders. Distributions in excess of current or accumulated earnings and profits generally
are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder&#146;s tax basis in our shares. Our current or accumulated earnings and profits are generally allocated first to distributions
made on our preferred shares, if any, and thereafter to distributions made on our common shares. For all of these purposes, our distributions include cash distributions and any in kind distributions of property that we might make. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We own and operate one or more properties through partnerships and limited liability companies. In the case of a REIT which is a partner in a
partnership, or a member in a limited liability company treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT will be deemed to own its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership or
limited liability company, based on its interest in partnership capital, subject to special rules relating to the 10% REIT asset test described below. Also, the REIT will be deemed to be entitled to its proportionate share of the income of that
entity. The assets and items of gross income of the partnership or limited liability company retain the same character in our hands for purposes of Section&nbsp;856 of the Code, including for purposes of satisfying the gross income tests and the
asset tests. Thus, our proportionate share of the assets and items of income of partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships, in which we are, directly or indirectly through other partnerships or limited liability companies
taxed as partnerships, a partner or member, are treated as our assets and items of income for purposes of applying the REIT qualification requirements described in this prospectus (including the income and asset tests described below). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Code, a partnership generally is not subject to U.S. federal income tax; instead, each partner is allocated its distributive share
of the partnership&#146;s items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit and is required to take such items into account in determining the partner&#146;s income. New rules applicable to United States federal income tax audits of partnerships
generally went into effect for taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017. Under these rules, among other changes and subject to certain exceptions, any audit adjustment to items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of a partnership
(and any partner&#146;s distributive share thereof) is determined, and taxes, interest or penalties attributable thereto are assessed and collected, at the partnership level. It is possible that a partnership in which we directly or indirectly
invest may be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and we, as a direct or indirect partner of the partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and
penalties, even though we, as a REIT, may not otherwise have been required to pay additional corporate-level taxes as a result of the related audit adjustment. The changes created by these rules depend also on the particular provisions of each
partnership or limited liability company agreement and the elections made by the partnership representative on behalf of the partnership. </P>

subsidiary earns. Rather, the stock of a TRS or taxable corporate subsidiary is an asset in our hands, and we treat the dividends paid to us from such TRS or taxable subsidiary, if any, as income. This treatment can affect our income and asset test
calculations, as described below. Because we do not include the assets and income of TRSs or other taxable corporate subsidiary in determining our compliance with the REIT requirements, we may use such entities to undertake indirectly activities
that the REIT rules might otherwise preclude us from doing directly or through pass-through subsidiaries. For example, we may use TRSs or other taxable subsidiary corporations to conduct activities that give rise to certain categories of income such
as management fees or to conduct activities that, if conducted by us directly, could be treated in our hands as prohibited transactions. </P>

dividends received from the TRS are paid to our shareholders. We may own more than 10% of the stock of a TRS without jeopardizing our qualification as a REIT. However, as noted below, in order for us to qualify as a REIT, the securities of all of
the TRSs in which we have invested either directly or indirectly may not represent more than 20% of the total value of our assets. We expect that the aggregate value of all of our interests in TRSs will represent less than 20% of the total value of
our assets; however, we cannot assure you that this will always be true. Our ownership of securities of a TRS will not be subject to the 10% or 5% asset tests described below, and the TRS&#146;s operations will be subject to the provisions described
below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A TRS must not directly or indirectly operate or manage a lodging or health care facility or, generally, provide to another

to qualify, as eligible independent contractors. In that regard, constructive ownership under Section&nbsp;318 of the Code resulting, for example, from relationships between our hotel managers and our shareholders could impact the hotel management
company&#146;s ability to satisfy the applicable ownership limit. Because of the broad scope of the attribution rules of Section&nbsp;318 of the Code, it is possible that not all prohibited relationships will be identified and avoided. The existence
of such a relationship would disqualify a hotel management company as an eligible independent contractor, which would in turn disqualify us as a REIT. </P>

succeeding year interest expense disallowed under the 30% test provided certain conditions are met). See also, &#147;&#151;Interest Deduction Limitation.&#148; </P>

conducted on an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">arm&#146;s-length</FONT> basis, such as any redetermined rents, redetermined deductions, excess interest or redetermined TRS service income. In general, redetermined rents are rents from real property
that are overstated as a result of any services furnished to any of our tenants by a TRS of ours, redetermined deductions and excess interest represent any amounts that are deducted by a TRS of ours for amounts paid to us that are in excess of the
amounts that would have been deducted based on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">arm&#146;s-length</FONT> negotiations, and redetermined TRS service income is income of a TRS that is understated as a result of services provided to us or on our

interests in, real property and real estate mortgages, other than gain from property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our trade or business (&#147;dealer property&#148;), (iii)&nbsp;dividends or other distributions on

of the total fair market value of all such property). If we receive interest income with respect to a mortgage loan that is secured by both real property and other property, and the highest principal amount of the loan outstanding during a taxable
year exceeds the fair market value of the real property on the date that we acquired or originated the mortgage loan, the interest income will be apportioned between the real property and the other collateral, and our income from the arrangement

satisfy the distribution requirements described above. However, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet these distribution requirements because of timing differences between the actual receipt of income and
actual payment of deductible expenses, and the inclusion of income and deduction of expenses in arriving at our taxable income. In addition, we may decide to retain our cash, rather than distribute it, in order to repay debt or for other reasons.
Further, it is possible that from time to time we may be allocated a share of net capital gain attributable to any depreciated property we sell that exceeds our allocable share of cash attributable to that sale. If these circumstances occur, we may
need to arrange for borrowings, or may need to pay dividends in the form of taxable stock dividends, in order to meet the distribution requirements. Furthermore, subject to certain exceptions, we must accrue income for U.S. federal income tax
purposes no later than when such income is taken into account as revenue in our financial statements, which could create additional differences between REIT taxable income and the receipt of cash attributable to such income. </P>

deductions, including those for net interest expense, net operating loss carryforwards and, for taxable years beginning before January&nbsp;1, 2022, depreciation, amortization and depletion. Provided the taxpayer makes a timely election (which is
irrevocable), the 30% limitation does not apply to a trade or business involving real property development, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, rental, operation, acquisition, conversion, disposition, management, leasing or brokerage,
within the meaning of Section&nbsp;469(c)(7)(C) of the Code. If this election is made, depreciable real property (including certain improvements) held by the relevant trade or business must be depreciated under the alternative depreciation system
under the Code, which is generally less favorable than the generally applicable system of depreciation under the Code. If we do not make the election or if the election is determined not to be available with respect to all or certain of our business
activities, this interest deduction limitation could result in us having more REIT taxable income and thus increase the amount of distributions we must make to comply with the REIT requirements and avoid incurring corporate-level tax. Similarly, the

results in a &#147;complete termination&#148; of your interest in all classes of our equity securities, is a &#147;substantially disproportionate redemption&#148; or is &#147;not essentially equivalent to a dividend&#148; within the meaning of

gain or loss to you. Gain from the sale or exchange of our shares held for more than one year is taxed at a maximum long-term capital gain rate of 15% or 20%, depending on the shareholder&#146;s marginal U.S. federal income tax bracket. In the case
of individuals whose ordinary income is taxed at a 10% or 15% rate, the 15% rate is reduced to 0%. However, whether a distribution is &#147;not essentially equivalent to a dividend&#148; depends on all of the facts and circumstances, and if you rely

will be treated as a distribution taxable as a dividend to the extent of the allocable portion of current or accumulated earnings and profits. The amount of the dividend will be the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received.
If the redemption is taxed as a dividend, your adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares will be transferred to any other shares in us that you own. If you own no other shares in us, under certain circumstances, such tax basis may be transferred to
a related person, or it may be lost entirely. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income </I></B></P>

over $200,000 for a single individual ($250,000 in the case of joint filers and $125,000 for married filing separate). For these purposes, &#147;net investment income&#148; generally includes, among other things, dividends and net gain from the
disposition of stock unless such income or gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities), but will be reduced by any deductions
properly allocable to such income or net gain. The temporary 20% deduction with respect to ordinary REIT dividends received is allowed only for purposes of Chapter 1 of the Code and thus appears not to be allowed as a deduction allocable to such

undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S. owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions prevent it from complying with these
reporting and other requirements. Certain countries have entered into, and other countries are expected to enter into, agreements with the United States to facilitate the type of information reporting required under FATCA. While the existence of
such agreements will not eliminate the risk of FATCA withholding on payments made by the Company to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> investors, these agreements are expected to reduce the risk of withholding for investors in (or
indirectly holding our common shares through financial institutions in) those countries. In addition, the presence in the payment chain of an intermediary that fails to comply with the additional certification, information reporting and other
specified requirements under FATCA could result in withholding under FATCA being imposed on payments of dividends and proceeds to U.S. holders who own our common shares through foreign accounts or foreign intermediaries. While withholding under
FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common shares on or after January&nbsp;1, 2019, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely.
These proposed Treasury Regulations can be relied on until final Treasury Regulations are issued. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA and the final regulations on them. </P>
